Would you support a bipartisan agreement to not make hay of a pro SYG vote in 2005 IF...

[Junkdrawer]

SYG is repealed by unanimous consent.

Stand Your Ground is so awful, I think I'd support that.

[Vincardog]

1. No. If it can be repealed it can be reinstated. Remember all the times the RW have made deals and

Backed out. You can not negotiate with the right they lie cheat and steal.

[ProgressiveProfessor]

2. I would expect nothing more that a tuning of the Florida law

You do realize that about half the states have some form of "no duty to retreat"?

[Hoyt]

3. That means about half the states have been paid off by NRA and similar

Right wing groups. Just because NRA, Minute Men, etc., support junk legislation doesn't make it desirable.

[ProgressiveProfessor]

4. Actually some have never had "duty to retreat"...nothing to do with the NRA

Do you oppose Castle Doctrine as well?

[Hoyt]

5. Castle Doctrine by itself does not bother me immensely. If someone has broken into your house,

I think you have to protect yourself. But, I think folks shouldn't shoot someone on their front porch or rummaging around in the yard or carport. Unfortunately, once the right wing legislators start with stuff like CD, they'll keep relaxing laws to get contributions from NRA and other right wing organizations. You should also watch for aging population where folks with dementia often go to wrong houses.

Just for the heck of it, I think once you are diagnosed with dementia and similar neurological diseases, you should have to turn in your guns. I had to take them from my FIL when he started seeing ghosts and having hallucinations from effects of kidney dialysis.
